Individual Art for Individual People

PUM: paintings

PUM: who is best known for her collage, has revealed a series of paintings to the public. As an individual with autism, PUM: uses art as a way of managing her condition. Her paintings, in particular offer PUM: an emotional release that helps her escape from the overwhelming amplitude of day to day life. The beguiling beauty of each piece affords PUM's abstract and yet lucid perception of people and their surroundings

"Each painted character depicted was once embodied as a plant or bird or animal and the echo of this connection still exists in an aesthetic calling and reply. I ask people what animal, plant ,bird or mineral they identify with and this can give a clue to where that energy may originate."
